Things to Stop Doing
停止做的事
Stop neglecting your self-control.
別忽視自己的自制力。
Nobody ever wrote down a plan to be broke, lazy, out of shape, uneducated, etc. These things happen when you lose your self-control.
沒人想破壞自己的計劃,變得又懶又沒有教養。但如果你的自制力不夠,這些情況的確會出現。
Showing a lack of self-control is in the same vein granting authority to others:“Perhaps I need someone else to help control me.”And if you’re lucky enough to have good friends and family, they might try. But the truth is no one is going to look out for you every second. No one is going to follow you around and say,“Don’t buy that, get off the couch, take a jog, go to the library, etc.”
自制力的缺乏,就表現為有這樣希望給別人督促你的念頭:“也許我需要別人來監督我。” 如果你足夠幸運,有很好的朋友和家人,他們說不定真能幫上你。但實際上沒有人會時時刻刻看著你。也沒有人會無時無刻的在你身邊,說:“別買那個,別再賴在沙發上啦,去慢跑,去圖書館吧,等等。”
You, and YOU ALONE, must make the choice between what is right and what is easy in your life.
你,也只能是你自己,必須要在正確和容易中中做出選擇。
